Responses are due June 2 for the request for information on the challenges and opportunities associated with scaling the domestic solar manufacturing workforce. SETO will pilot the Solar Manufacturing Internship for Leaders in Energy (SMILE) program.

Airfoils are the foundation of turbine blade designs. Generating lift and drag when they move through the air, airfoils play a key role in improving the aerodynamic performance and structural durability of a turbine’s blades.

DOE released a $4.75 million funding opportunity that will create one or more university-led Centers of Excellence.

DOE announced $26 million for eight projects to demonstrate how solar power, wind energy, energy storage, and other renewable energy resources can support a reliable and efficient U.S. power grid.

Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are seeking solar workers for 1-hour, one-on-one interviews to inform a study about the solar workforce.

WETO announces additional funding, including funds from the landmark Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, for two small businesses working to accelerate wind energy deployment.

A Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researcher discusses her past as a software engineer and NASA contractor, her current efforts in wind energy ecology, and her advice for those who aspire to work in renewable energy.

Solar panels need to withstand the elements to keep producing power for decades, and water is one of a solar module’s trickiest foes. Using clever measurement and modeling methods, researchers are optimizing the way we seal solar modules to keep water out

By the end of 2022, the Solar Automated Permit Processing Plus (SolarAPP+) online permitting software had eliminated 134,000 days of delays for solar adopters, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) annual performance report.

This month’s Renewable Energy Champion is Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Director of Coastal Sciences Division Chris Meinig.
